FORTIUM RGT is a versatile combination of rosemary and green tea extracts that complement each other by providing superior oxidation protection without negatively impacting flavor, color and odor profiles. These blends are highly efficacious in sauces, dressings and condiments as well as meat and poultry products.
Using a rosemary extract and green tea extract blend may provide other advantages over single ingredient antioxidant solutions.
- Adding high use levels of rosemary extract or green tea extract alone may negatively affect the flavor of your product, but the blend of both extracts would not and thus can be applied at higher rates.
- The catechins in green tea extract may act as an iron chelator, suppressing the iron released from the hemoglobin which can be prevalent in ground meat and can act as an oxidant.
By combining the capabilities of both a rosemary and green tea extract, manufacturers are left with greater color protection – leaving products more appealing to consumers.
